Ascension journey - 278

The first stage of practice is called refining Qi.

As the name suggests, practitioners need to extract a vital energy that can be controlled by themselves from the heavens and the earth, and constantly adapt, cultivate and grow.

There are tens of thousands of ways to obtain this vitality, and the quality and nature of the vitality obtained are also very different. The final result has a subtle connection with the process passed, and different people can’t practice it completely with the same method. The same vitality can generally only guarantee similarity in main characteristics.

For example, it also relies on the guiding method of breathing and exercise training. The vitality obtained by the health-care technique that focuses on conditioning the body has the effect of strengthening the body, nourishing the vitality and prolonging life, while the vitality extracted by the external power of strengthening the muscles and bones tends to produce the movement that fits the human muscles. Physical power.

In the basic cultivation method, the difference between perception and thought is even greater.

Except for the widely spread first step used to enter the basic state of visualization, there is no uniform standard for all subsequent steps and tips in the entire world. After all, spiritual things vary from person to person, unlike the five elements. That’s easier to understand objectively.

In the analogy of painting, the first step in the basic practice is to tell you what it means to paint, tell you what you need for a carrier, paint, brush, and how to poke the pen with paint onto the canvas.

In the future, whether to use a whiteboard or canvas as a carrier, ink or charcoal as paint, or hand or brush as a tool, it will be a lot of fun.

At this level, no sect is exactly the same, let alone the most critical difference in the content of the painting.

But no matter what, as long as you complete the first step and enter the state of visualization, no matter how much the cultivator talks about the next steps, he can cultivate a trace of corresponding vitality, and finally he can cultivate successfully.

It’s just that the danger, nature, and quality of this vitality cannot be guaranteed. After all, the value of essay graffiti and masterpieces is not on the same level. Without the rich and complete visual scene and the corresponding spiritual adjustment methods of the big school, I want to practice The vitality you want is very difficult.

No process bin has the mind energy that can act on Jiang Qing’s spiritual level, and can maximize the effect of their thoughts at hand. After practicing this kind of method that can be used freely after getting started, it is really suitable.

Moreover, the vitality generated by insight thinking is closely related to the object of visualization. Cheng Bin is very curious. If Jiang Qing successfully cultivated insight thinking with his own help, what kind of vitality would the generated vitality have.

However, Jiang Qing, who held the cobblestone at the beginning, said that he couldn’t understand: “Hold the stone and visualize, what kind of vitality can you visualize in the end?”

“It will be used as an example for the time being, just let you adapt. We still have a lot of prerequisite steps to complete before practicing.”

Cheng Bin examined Jiang Qing’s mental changes, and while pondering fine-tuning, he replied, “Don’t underestimate the stone. Without my help, you can’t even visualize this stone now.”

“Huh?” Jiang Qing glanced at the stone in his hand, then closed his eyes and thought about it. The appearance of the stone clearly appeared in his mind, “What’s the problem?”

In response to Jiang Qing’s reaction, Cheng Bin coldly snorted: “If you want to cultivate a strong vitality beyond common sense, the concrete form of the visualization object is naturally the more complex and perfect the better. You are just visualizing a stone in your mind. Two-dimensional cross-section, dare to speak up here?”

Jiang Qing was startled, raised his other hand and held the irregular round stone together, turned it over and over and looked at it for a while, closed his eyes and tried a few times, and finally said in surprise: “It really can only be seen. To one side!”

“The savvy is okay, it’s not stupid…” Cheng Bin said indifferently, “So I am now trying to transform your sensory memory input part so that you can break through the sensory inertia of ordinary people, you quickly follow the requirements of the law. Try to visualize the stone, let me compare whether I can connect the result of the transformation to the method.”

“okay.”

The mental hand of Jiang Qing suppressed the subtle mood, recalled the introductory knack of thinking, and then began to empty his mind and stare at the stone in his hand intently.

No matter what the object of visualization is, the deeper the practitioner understands it, the more complete the information of visualization, the better the effect will be. Stones with simple images are naturally inferior to three-dimensional stones with texture, smell, and temperature. Far away.

Seeing Jiang Qing quickly entering a state of concentration where he could not hear outside the window, Cheng Bin nodded from the bottom of his heart and began to observe and analyze the various changes that occurred after the information of the stone entered Jiang Qing’s mental body.

“As expected, this shortcut is after all connected to the spiritual level of ordinary people, and the spiritual activities that match the mind and thoughts can be perfectly integrated into the transformation system.”

After Cheng Bin pondered for a while, he began to help Jiang Qing perfect his current thinking.

Jiang Qing, who was highly concentrated, did not realize that his vague restlessness and distractions had all disappeared at this moment. He only felt that the stone in his mind suddenly popped out of a picture scroll.

In an instant, Jiang Qing seemed to see the stone in all directions, smelled the rusticity of the stone, felt the cold touch like an illusion, a bitter taste appeared on the tip of his tongue, and an unrecognizable slightness came from his ears. Buzz…

A lifelike stone just floated in Jiang Qing’s mind, and he came back to his senses at half the rate.

Compared with the impression and feeling left in his mind, the stone in his hand seemed to be less realistic. Jiang Qing asked Cheng Bin in surprise, “It is so perfect visualization, how is this done?”

“Take out your relevant memories and assemble them after magical modification, and connect them to the visually triggered stone information.” Cheng Bin hesitated after answering, and then continued, “This is far from a perfect visualization, but no matter how hard it is. If you go deeper, there is no reference information available in your memory. It seems that you can only upload the panorama…”

“Panorama?” Jiang Qing asked a little strangely, throwing the stone in his hand, “What is that?”

“A complex perception system that will cost you a huge price,” Cheng Bin replied. “The world’s identifiable basic information elements are extracted, and the information obtained from all perception channels is converted into mathematical data for calculation, integration, and processing. Then it will be written directly into your perceptual memory.”

Jiang Qing, who is quite knowledgeable about mathematics, wondered: “It sounds amazing, what is the huge price to pay?”

“The obstacles in thinking process and calculation ability can be temporarily skipped by the power of my body through mindfulness, but…”

Cheng Bin paused and sighed leisurely.

From the sigh in his mind, Jiang Qing felt a kind of faint sadness, an indescribable complex mood, which made him nervous. Is the price more terrifying than he thought?

After sighing, Cheng Bin continued in a low voice: “…But you will not lift it from now on.”

“…” Jiang Qing looked dumbfounded, “What?”

Cheng Bin smiled unkindly: “You didn’t hear it wrong, don’t doubt, it’s the one you want to do now.”

“Hey! Say I don’t care about my privacy!” With a flash of thought, Jiang Qing said uncontrollably when he dreamed of the beautiful young lady for the first time. “What the hell do you mean? Is there such a price?”

“That’s the price, and it’s far more than that…”

Cheng Bin’s attitude became serious like a face change: “Tell me, Jiang Qing, the corpse demon, when you see a beautiful girl’s squirming stomach, when you smell it, you will have a desire for her. Is it throbbing? Will it still be affected by the body’s instincts?”

Jiang Qingmeng was taken aback.

Cheng Bin said in a low voice: “When you digitize the information that your tongue and nose feel, you will no longer be able to get satisfaction and happiness from delicious food. When you digitize the sensation of your skin and body, you will never again. Can’t understand the real pain…

“When you open the panorama, you will see the world deeper and more real. As a price, all the sensory stimulation of mortals will be far away from you, everything will be integrated, you will not be able to distinguish beauty and ugliness, and you will not be able to communicate with ordinary people. , Happiness and pain will turn into information that can be manipulated at will…

“If you don’t want to become a monster with the distortion of the three perceptions under this abnormal sense, the only thing you can rely on is the deepest reason and persistence in your heart.”

Facing the startled Jiang Qing, Cheng Bin asked softly: “Even if you don’t use the panorama, the correct practice will push you to this point sooner or later. Even if you have to pay this price, you are willing to go further. ?”

Jiang Qing was silent for a long time, then turned and walked towards the exit of the cave.

Step by step out of the hidden entrance of the maze, Jiang Qing walked into the unobstructed field. He looked up at the sky that was blurry due to the glare, and could only feel the dimming sun.

The strong masculine vitality stimulated the body of the corpse demon, Jiang Qing raised his palm, feeling the burning heat and slight tingling pain from the sun’s palm.

Even if he was transformed into a corpse demon, Jiang Qing still possessed most of ordinary people’s senses, even more sensitive than before.

“After becoming a corpse demon, I am curious why the demon is afraid of the sun, why the demon can become stronger by eating people, why the world is a big spherical shell, and wonder why there are practitioners…”

Holding a fist in his hand, Jiang Qing murmured in a low voice: “I want to know the answers to these questions. I think I must have eyes that can see everything. I must see farther, deeper, and more clearly… I didn’t expect to have this at the time. Two eyes have to pay such a price.”

Cheng Bin sighed lightly: “You can choose to look closer, blurry, or confused, so that the price will not be so heavy.”

Jiang Qing took a deep breath. He felt the burning sensation in his chest, and solemnly said, “Thank you for teaching me this…may I call you Master?”

Cheng Bin was taken aback for a moment, and after thinking about it, he said, “…Yes.”

“Master,” picking up the words that he used to say during his lifetime, Jiang Qing asked as he watched the sun gradually transforming into the lunar yin, “you remind me that you must have taken this step back then? What did you think? Have you regretted it?”

“Ah, no one came to teach me this. I only discovered these problems after taking this step.”

Recalling the initial experience after the initial expansion of perception, Cheng Bin smiled lightly: “I almost vomited out what I didn’t adapt at the beginning, and for a while I have been deliberately suppressing the opening of the panorama, but after completing the full version of the panorama. , I gradually stopped caring about these issues.”

Binary life white with complexity breaking through the sky, spirit-based apostle with strange body, bright galaxy, positive and negative space… Cheng Bin thinks of the lives he has encountered, the scenery he has seen, and his new income is cheap The apprentice said:

“There is no regret or anything. If you break away from the low-level happiness, naturally there will be high-level happiness to fill your mind. The more you see, the more unknown scenery will be. As long as you insist on walking in this curious exploration On the road to the future, you must have gained more than you have given, and you will not feel tired and lost.”

“I understand, Master…then use the panorama and start practicing.” Under the feminine moonlight that gradually emerged, Jiang Qing nodded calmly and turned around and walked towards the entrance of the Lao Lao.

“Come on, my apprentice,” Cheng Bin said with a low smile, “Come to learn some deeper levels of high-dimensional mathematics and space-time physics, use panoramic images to exceed the limit of ordinary people’s imagination, and try to visualize my ontology in the gap of space and time. , The crystallization of my highest strength and wisdom——

“Four-dimensional combat body.”

……

The maze where Jiang Qing hides is buried at the junction of an unknown low rock mountain and a small canyon.

At this moment, at the commanding heights on the other side of the canyon, a man in leather armor carefully hid his figure, lying prone to observe the dense vines on the opposite canyon wall.

Although the vines were so dense that there were almost no gaps, the area where the man was staring at him faintly revealed an unusual outline.

He is a hunter who was lured by a high reward from a nearby human city, searching for the trace of a demon in this wilderness.

——The corpse demon who killed nearly a hundred cavalrymen and exploded the head of General Wang.

These days, ferocious plants and animals can be seen everywhere in the wild. Anyone who dares to wander in the mountains alone has two brushes of his own. This hunter is obviously excellent in all aspects.

However, the highly qualified hunter hesitated at the moment.

He also knows the low-level demons, and is very clear about the nearby terrain, even with his eyes closed, he can point out the places suitable for the demons in this area.

So after seeing the reward, he started from the place where the cavalry was attacked and traced it all the way to here. Based on experience and various traces observed, he could be sure that the monster was staying in the cave hidden under the vines on the opposite mountain wall.

But the small natural cave seemed to be opened up by the monsters with other caves. When the hunter ventured to test the Yin Qi reaction with props before, the breath flow revealed an underground maze extending in all directions.

The opponent can use fire spells to easily kill the cavalry of the brigade. Going into a narrow space and hardening it is obviously an act of death, but the hunter is reluctant to only take a little bounty to inform the letter. He has the Zhengyang refined by the Taoist priest. If it is used as a trap, it is more than enough to kill ordinary monsters.

The hunter hesitated in the measurement of risk and income, but he could not hesitate for too long. If he waited for his colleagues to come, he would not even be able to get a little reward for reporting.

The hunter who hesitated for a long time gritted his teeth and decided to use the precious Zhengyang Powder as a trap.

Just as the hunters walked carefully through the mountains, looking for the entrances of the maze and suitable trap deployment points, in the nearest human city, the parents of the kings who lost their core nephews and nephews have privately organized a demon team, ready to go out of the city to avenge their hatred.

At this moment, Jiang Qing has overcome numerous obstacles with the help of Cheng Bin, and has completed the most basic and critical practice.
